Rear frame rails
Is the rear frame rails on a long bed longer then a short bed past the bracket that the rear springs bolt to? I had to return a Fey step bumper that would not go on my 87. My 87 is a short bed. The bracket for the Fey bumper should bolt to the outside of the frame rail, but the truck bracket is in the way. See the pic of my 87.

Re: Rear frame rails
Yes the frame on a long box is longer behind the axle, something like 6-8 inchs I think or more, I can't remember right now, but I know it is longer.

Re: Rear frame rails
6" sounds right. 14" in the middle.

Re: Rear frame rails
Looks like you have the longer springs on your truck . There was I think 52" and 56"
